Camper Conversion Modules — For Your Car!
A campervan conversion is a dream many campers have, but it can also be a challenge. Ready-made furniture modules can make a conversion project quicker and easier.
What are camper conversion modules?
Camper conversion modules are prefabricated units that transform your vehicle — whether its a Sprinter, van or van-based MPV into a camper.
You self-install modules in the vehicle interior, quickly converting a daily driver into a camping vehicle.
Camper conversion modules are designed for a variety of purposes and can be combined as desired. The basics mainly includes modules for sleeping, cooking and the best possible use of storage space.
What makes conversion modules so useful?
No matter whether you are an experienced camper or a complete beginner, with camper conversion modules you can transform your car or van into a temporary recreational vehicle without much prior knowledge.
When daily life calls again, these modules are quickly removed and can be stored at home until you're ready to head out on your next camping trip.
- More cost-effective (compared to customized solutions/new purchases such as an RV or caravan)
- Customizable/configurable
- Often reusable (e.g. after buying a new vehicle)
- Expandable
- Time-saving when converting your vehicle
- Multifunctional (such as our travel tiger modules)
- Mobile and flexible
For anyone who owns their own car and wants to get into vanlife, there are clearly plenty of reasons to consider purchasing modules instead of a camper or recreational vehicle.
What vehicles are suitable for conversion modules?
Camper conversion modules are now available for almost all vehicle types. Volkswagen buses or vans from Mercedes, Ford or Toyota are particularly popular. There is a large selection of modules, especially for vehicles of this size.
There is also a smaller version, sometimes known as a micro camper. The demand for modules for compact cars, SUVs and especially van-based MPVs such as the Volkswagen Caddy is also on the rise.

What types of camper conversion modules are there?
As mentioned above, there are a few basic modules that can transform your car into a camper in no time. For those who want to go one step further, here is a short planning guide to help you make a decision before making a purchase. (Article is currently only available in German.)
Camper Conversion Bed Module
Modules for sleeping usually consist of a combination of a bed frame, a slatted frame and a mattress, in order to provide as much comfort as possible.
Our camping bed is a lightweight bed module designed primarily for van-based MVPs and vans.
It can be set up over the folded back seats within a few minutes — no tools required! When you're done, you'll have a 200 cm x 110 cm bed to sleep on.
Camper Conversion Kitchen Module
Kitchen modules usually have a hob with 1-2 burners and a sink. Sometimes there is storage space for a small refrigerator and a worktop.
In most camper conversion modules, the kitchen is located in the trunk of the vehicle and is pulled out when in use.
However, we swear by a mobile camping kitchen so that you have plenty of flexibility when cooking. We have summarized the pros and cons of both options for you. (Article is currently only available in German.)
The individual elements — such as the sink, stove and worktop — can be arranged however you want.
Storage Modules
Storage modules are essential for keeping your camper tidy. They ensure that clothes, shoes, or sports equipment have a permanent place.
We have deliberately designed our camper conversion furniture modules so that you have plenty of storage space. The storage area under the camping bed, for example, measures 106 x 60 x 33 cm. Three Euro boxes measuring 40.5 x 30 x 33 cm fit underneath.
Self-Sufficiency Modules
If you're looking to be self-sufficient and don't want to rely on utilities hookups at campgrounds, you'll want to look into products that take care of your water and electricity needs. A portable solar system, large water canisters, or even an integrated shower – these modules will vary depending on your camping vehicle. In this article, you will learn how you can become self-sufficient with car camping accessories. (Article is currently only availble in German.)
